Last minute. All about the coronavirus
Joana Choquet and Blanca Píaa sign the project @CoronaFridges, on Instagram, where they collect the interior of the refrigerators that the followers send during the period of confinement.
The photo at the top of these lines shows a confined refrigerator. There's beer, margarine, a broth broth (at least a good brand), and some meat that looks like a burger. Also a dark jar containing a mask, not for the Covid-19, but for the pores.
Can we know something about its owner by looking at this fridge? Portraying the quarantined society through this little bit of intimacy is the purpose of @CoronaFridges, a project created on March 14 by Joana Choquet and Blanca Pía and to which, by the way, the fridge above is alien.
These thirty-year-olds, professionally dedicated to design and communication, began posting photos of refrigerators on their own Instagram profiles, as a way of portraying the behavior of their friends and acquaintances in the face of doubts about confinement, indifference, fear of shortages, etc.
"We did not think that this situation would last so long. We got more and decided to open a specific profile," they say. At the moment, they have received more than 400, although they are not yet all hanging.
They, gatherers of other curiosities, have also uploaded theirs, for the record. "We saw how people started buying without control, especially at the beginning. Now we receive more normal refrigerators , " they explain. "We have been struck by seeing a lot of alcohol and an excess of products, such as one that kept eight bottles of oil, 24 eggs and a lot of fruit and vegetables that were expected to spoil," says Blanca. An evident reflection of the anxiety into which many fell at the beginning of the quarantine.
They have Spanish refrigerators, but also from Mexico, Panama, Peru, USA, Italy, Germany, Slovenia, Brazil ... "That offers us an image of the feeding of each site and also of how they have been preparing for confinement as they went implementing measures in their countries, "explains Joana.
These Barcelonans will continue to collect fridges on Instagram until the confinement ends. Then they want the project to go through the networks and conclude in a photo-book: "We would like this repository to be completed with research and for some nutritionist to assess how we have bought and, why not, establish guidelines for making a good purchase in case of future pandemics, "they say.
Thus, it would be possible to know how long you can survive with a full fridge, how many shopping bags are involved, how many times you have to go to refill, etc. "Something like a decalogue of good practices," they conclude.
